1. The “7-day risk-standardized hospital visit after outpatient colonoscopy” measure is new to the CMS ASC Quality Reporting Program.
2. ASCs and HOPDs will be required to collect data on this measure in CY 2016. CY 2018 payments will be impacted by the data collection, according to the report.
3. CMS is offering the dry run period to allow ASCs and HOPDs a chance to measure results and ask any questions about the measure’s calculation methodology, according to the report.
